My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    The mechanism that was used to open/close the steel framed bi-folding garage doors as shown in this photo is the same mechanism used to control a sliding Entry gate at the top of a driveway. We contacted our local garage door/Entry gate company to handle this part of the project.

    Oh, that sure is one cool looking garage door right there. It has me wondering, how does it automatically do the folding when opening and closing it? To me, that is quite fascinating that it's giving me some ideas about trying it myself on my own garage door. http://www.highstandards.ca/lantzville-garage-doors.aspx
